The IATA CEIV Pharma is a standardized global certification programme that guides companies to comply with existing global pharmaceutical guidelines. At the signing ceremony, Mohd Zulkefly Ujang, chief operation officer signed for MABkargo while Conrad Clifford Asia Pacific regional vice president signed for IATA.
